Party in his crib

Hey girls! My 11 week old was a pretty decent sleeper these last couple months but lately all I can get is maybe a half hour nap here and there during the day, and 3 hour stretches at night. Help! I'm going crazy over here! I exclusively pump for him and he's been eating 4 oz every bottle about every 3 hours on the dot. How much do your LO's drink? His sleeping pattern is making for a very fussy baby... I'm wondering if he needs to eat more? Or do I just have a baby that doesn't need much sleep!

are you maybe not sleeping him enough so he becomes overtired? read "heathy sleep habits, happy child". it works. i spent too much time at wal mart today and he missed a nap and is now fighting sleep! but yesterday, i put him down at the first yawn and he took a 4.5 hr nap!

My lactation consultant says around 2.5 ounces per pound of baby per day (ie if lo weighs 10lbs he should be drinking 25oz total per day). Of course different babies take more or less esp during growth spurts but this is ideal for healthy weight gain. Some get this all in during the day some take it evenly throughout the day & night. There isnt a right or wrong as long as they are getting the right nutrition. Mine is more of a grazer too. They'll sleep longer eventually just hang in there! Hth
